5th Annual E. F. “Pat” Houser Golf Tournament

Golfers scores were very close and they had to work hard to compensate for the wind and many got a little wet with the passing thunderstorm which made for a close match. However, everyone enjoyed a great day of golf at the Elks.
Andrew Daily and Drew Astorino had fun helping the teams get on the green at the 10th hole, which the wind did not help with!
